Working here means contributing to meaningful environmental impact through cutting-edge data and AI solutions. The company's commitment to sustainability and remote-first culture makes it an attractive place for mission-driven data professionals.

About This Role

As a Data Architect at Ramboll Tech, you will design and own the enterprise data architecture that powers AI-enabled solutions for decarbonization.

This role is impactful because your work enables data-driven decisions that accelerate the green transition.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a stand-up meeting with your cross-functional team to discuss data pipeline priorities. You'll then spend time designing a new data model for a sustainability project, followed by a meeting with business stakeholders to translate their requirements into technical specs. Later, you might review code for an ETL process or explore a new cloud service to optimize data storage costs.

🎯 Who Ramboll Management Consulting Is Looking For

  • A seasoned data architect with 5+ years of experience, specializing in cloud architecture (Azure preferred), data integration, and data modeling.
  • Deeply familiar with modern data stack technologies (e.g., Snowflake, dbt, Airflow) and experienced in designing robust ETL pipelines and data warehouses.
  • Excellent communicator who can bridge the gap between technical teams and non-technical stakeholders, especially in a remote environment.
  • Passionate about sustainability and eager to apply data architecture skills to decarbonization and sustainable business models.
